Is Deezer app optimised for macOS on M1 (silicon) chip? Has relatively high CPU usage.

Hi @dugeem thanks for raising this topic. Unfortunately in coming months there isn’t anything plan to move in that direction.

Nevertheless, I have asked again if there is any plans for 2024. 

I will keep everybody update as soon as something new arise.

I would like to voice my support with an optimized version for the current iMac/Macbook versions.  The one we currently have is not efficient. 

Apparently lazyness and uncompetence of french dev is not a legend …. they just have to check one tick in their apple dev account to allow IpadOS app on MACOS Silicon and that would be one step ahead but they just decided not to take 5 min of their precious cofee break and ignore their paying customers ( 20% price increase last year..) … M1 behind out for 3 years is a shame for anybody working on the dev team at deezer …

Hi @archaic_email @Olh01, I've just received an update from our developers, and they mentioned that they're actively working on a solution for the issue.

However, there are still some milestones to address before it's fully resolved.

Given this, I would like to ask a bit more patience until they can completely resolve the problem.

Thank you very much for your understanding.

Appreciate the follow ups! You’re awesome. 😁 @Leonídia.Deezer 

That’s great to know something might be happening with this @Leonídia.Deezer As we’ve had Apple Watch & HomePod  previously added, and AppleTV this week, the desktop client is the one missing thing now….

I figured I’d chime in and mention, that, while we do need a Apple Silicon optimized version regardless, you can always install the web version as a PWA to get a desktop like experience. It’s technically more secure to do it that way anyway and operates very similar to a desktop app, and can play full HiFi.

In Chrome this is done via Save and Share > Create Shortcut and then mark it to open as it’s own window (it may do this by default now, don’t recall). 

Safari can also do it: https://support.apple.com/en-us/104996

Again, not the perfect solution and not trying to discredit anyone’s frustration over the issue, just that there is a sort of workaround that is a pretty good experience.

Hi @planedrop, thank you for your valuable tips and detailed advice.

I'm sure our users will appreciate the workaround you suggested.

I just subscribed back and now I have a Mac is very disappointing that is not apple silicon ready being released 4 years ago, I’m regretting my purchase, my Mac constantly says there is an app draining the battery and you guested is Deezer.

I’d recommend “installing” Deezer as a website, what browser are you using? 

Doing this will still get you essentially the full featured Deezer app but without battery drain.
